It's good to hear a politician that's educated, sane, and mature. He's not making promises. He's making an attempt to set things on a course to set things right. Not perfect. Just morally right.

Sane? He beliefs in a magic being in the sky. How is that sane?

The difference is he's not trying to shove it down our throats like the Christian nationalists. He can believe whatever he wants as long as I don't have to.

But he's not using his faith to dictate policy. He's not stating that his faith is the one and only and suggesting if you are not of his faith then you are wrong. I am definitely NOT a religious person. I don't think people are crazy for believing in a higher power. I just don't have.....well.....faith! That's my personal path. The GOP/MAGA would say I'm a communist, trans, liberal, California weirdo, vegan, satanic Muslim that's trying to break into the other gender's bathroom. Talarico would shrug and say Welcome.

I saw it today. How anyone could think that Paxton is the better choice is beyond my understanding. It has to be due to extreme hatred of others who lead different lifestyles or mental problems or both.

The vast majority of people are basically robots. They don't participate in their conscious existence in life. They just go with whatever the people round them believe. Their extreme hatred only exists because the people around them told them to hate. They don't see nuance or try to understand differences, and they get angry when you tell them they can choose to see something else.

Yeah those 1.9 million viewers are old voters that needed to see him. Those 4 million views are global and not the demographic that needs to hear him. Weâre gonna need to keep it up until it goes much higher than that if we want to call this a win

The FCC is just surpressing free speech, releasing this on Youtube is complying in advance. If Kimmel had a spine he'd air it on TV and make a spectacle of the bullshit trial that follows. This isn't a win.

I watched it and donated to his campaign. I love what he is doing in Texas.

u/newyne 9h ago
That's actually a good point: I see a lot of comments about how the people who need to see it won't, but... I donated to Talarico a while ago, so now of course I keep getting ads that donations are slowing down and they need a lot more. I do what I can, but I don't have that much myself... But this should be fantastic for raising campaign funds! Like, there's more to this kind of thing than changing people's minds. How many would that have been in the first place, vs. how many are likely to donate when they agree with what they're hearing?

How many from Texas would have seen it had it aired on TV? The Jimmy Kimmel show is aired nationally so anyone from anywhere can see it.

VOTE FOR TALARICO
HE WON'T STEAL YOUR PEN
Brilliant. đ
(And as a Texan living in the county they were talking about in this interview, I'm absolutely voting for Talarico, but I just wanted to take a minute to give a shout to Tim O'Hare, Matt Krause and Manny Ramirez, the assholes responsible for closing our polling stations...screw you guys!! đ)

I watched it. I learned that Ken Paxton stole a $1,000 pen and did not give it back until the police were involved. If he has no issue with stealing someone's pen, I'm sure he has no issue stealing from you either.

yea... but the effect is that this interview isn't reaching the people who need to see it. Just like the rest of info that should be seen by maga so that they can see that they've been duped. The effect of media manipulation by conservative media is the reason why maga doesn't understand the division created by their propaganda.

u/scifijunkie3 1h ago
ABC is a national broadcast company. How do you know it wouldn't reach the people it needs to reach had it aired on TV? On YouTube, it reaches a wider area than ABC. I just don't understand why people think it's not reaching the intended audience because it's on YouTube. The same people who wanted to see it wached it.

Out of the loop. How in God's name can the FCC tell a TV show who they can interview? I honestly can't think of any situation where that would be permissible. Even if this guy was a heinous criminal then there's still scope for an interview asking why he did what he did.

Why didn't they just air it? Acting like they are standing up to the administration by capitulation is wild. They should have aired it and handled the blowback if they want to act like a hero. Instead they did what they were told.
